What kind of country do we now live in. Children have their lunches taken away by the state because the lunches don't comply with what some nanny with a badge thinks is a proper meal.
I can't get fries for my kids when we go to the Olive Garden now because they have voluntarily removed fries from their menu.
And now we see that overweight Michelle Obama is going around getting candy companies to restrict their candy offerings.
The Nazis and the Communists were all-time control freaks. But not even they thought to control what their subjects ate.
As far as I can recall, what is going on right now in our country is a first. No dictatorship has ever tried to control the diet of its citizens probably because they suspected that doing so might cause a revolt.
But what do we Americans do. We sit by and take it. If George III could see what is going on now in America, he would laugh and rue the fact that he was born there centuries too early.
How do these people keep winning?
Are 30-40% of Americans really so stupid they’ll keep signing off on this?
:(:(:(:(
there centuries = three centuries
They did, kind of. State-owned farms grew what government told them to grow. That was one way of controlling what people ate, in a crude way.
potatoes!! and Vodka (from potatoes??)
Wookie poop smells great!
I think Michelle Obama is embarases of her fat ass and is taking it out on the public!
They didn’t try to control your diet. They didn’t tell you you had to eat peas or that you couldn’t eat candy or that fries are bad for you. And I suspect that they didn’t because they knew that if they did, they might end up getting hung from a lamppost.
Even though I can’t stand Bill O’Reilly he did say something recently that was absolutely correct..there is a certain segment of our population that enjoys having the Govt telling them what to do, what to eat, what kind of car to drive. They enjoy getting free stuff, food stamps, welfare checks, unemployment, anything that prevents them from actually being responsible and taking care of themselves. Those are the types of people who will always vote Democrat and vote for Obama in 2012..those are the ones we need to worry about in this election
Hitler was big on not smoking, and he did push a specific diet if I remember correctly. He just wasn’t around long enough to make it stick. Amazing that our food Nazis are worse than Nazi Nazis.
LOL
We're not talking about a major donation here, $5 a month. How much time do you spend on FR? Isn't that the best deal you've ever run across?
C'mon now, git 'er done, if some ham-n-egger like me can do this (and more) you can too. Donate!
It sure doesn’t make me feel warm and fuzzy inside when I’m reassured that food-wise, Hitler kind-of-sorta did to the Germans what the professional left is now doing to Americans.
But they did try to control what their subjects ate. They deliberately starved them to death by the millions.
Thank God we're not at that point yet.
Yet.
Hitler did not try and starve Germans. He needed them to kill the Jews and the Russians and the Americans. So no, he didn’t try and starve his own people
You need to learn more about communism. They controled food intake through deprivation. Entire categories of food would disappear. You eat whatever is left, whatever you can get.
“Are 30-40% of Americans really so stupid they’ll keep signing off on this?”
It’s amazing how cheap people will sell their souls.
If you think you’re getting “something for nothing”, or better yet, “something paid for by someone else”, you’ll go to the ends of the earth to maintain the status quo.
The food police are watching you now. Comply now, or be sent to the weight reduction camp. This is what it has come down to in America.
